From 1982-1993, she was a member of The New Mamas & The Papas, serving as a replacement for the late Cass Elliot. Spanky & Our Gang's final chart entry came in 1969 with their cover of Harry Nilsson's "Everybody's Talkin' At Me" (1969).Īfter Spanky & Our Gang disbanded, McFarlane went on to pursue a career as a solo artist. The group had two other Top 40 hits in 1968 with "Sunday Mornin'" and the soulful "Like To Get To Know You." Other hits included "Give A Damn" (1968), "Yesterday's Rain" (1968), "Anything You Choose" (1969), and "And She's Mine" (1969). This smash was followed later that year by "Making Every Minute Count," which became a Top 40 hit, and the chirpy "Lazy Day," which made the Top 20 and became the group's second million seller. Spanky & Our Gang debuted on the Pop/Rock charts in 1967 with "Sunday Will Never Be The Same," which became a Top 10 hit and soon after went gold. Despite their relatively short tenure, Spanky & Our Gang became an indelible part of the musical landscape of the late 1960s with their many era-defining hits. 
The group was well known for its close-knit harmonies with a sound that is often compared to that of The Mamas & The Papas. After Malcolm Hale's untimely passing in late 1968 at the height of the group's fame, Spanky & Our Gang began to dissolve and they split the following year. By 1967, the group was signed to Mercury and the lineup had expanded to also include multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Hale (October 30, 1968), John "The Chief" Seiter (drums), Kenny Hodges (bass), and guitarist Eustace Britchforth "Lefty" Baker (JanuAugust 11, 1971), who all shared vocals.
With a name inspired by "The Little Rascals" series, the group began in 1966 as a trio consisting of Paul "Oz" Bach (JSeptember 21, 1998), Nigel Pickering (JMay 5, 2011), and lead singer Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane. Spanky & Our Gang were a male-female folk rock/sunshine pop band from Chicago that became famous during the late 1960s.
